Subject: Re: New gear for an old boat




Location: MN
I own a 1990 Ranger 680t and over the past four years have slowly updated it when good deals presented themselves. I repowered with a used 60hp Etec, Humminbird 997 SI, Humminbird 858c, and Terrova trolling motor. Also added a custom rear casting deck and did some work on the trailer. Overall I keep it clean, vacuumed, and waxed; it looks good for a 23yr old boat. The boat is old but the additions have brought new life to it. If you like your boat making upgrades with newer electronics or updated trolling motor is smart; it's definitely cheaper than buying new or slightly used boat.

Both the Terrova and Humminbird electronics are awesome. If you don't want to jump up to a Terrova I have friends who like the MinnKota Powerdrives, just make sure to have a spare pedal. The 700 series Humminbird units look nice; combine them with Lakemaster chips and you have a deadly tool. Enjoy shopping.
